The idea
Reading a chart note means identifying its section, then resolving each term against the anatomical position and the patient's own left and right.
In practice
One line resolved in full.
Where people slip
Palpation, examining by touch, and palpitation, an awareness of the heartbeat, differ by two letters. Both appear in chart notes.
